Social media tends to think I'm trans. It's cool, whatever, but I do find it funny. You don't say no to following trans people so you must want the socks etc too.

Ok so You Can See Everything is going to be discussed for decades. Hands down, that was one of the most impossible to recreate scenarios of all time. You will rarely see that many layers of hidden meaning in another documentary.

Randomly went to the Samsung website, no big deal I hit enter early all the time when typing things in, that's not the thing, what jostled me is their currently splash is...horrendous? What recent devry university grad made this front page for one of the largest companies?

I want to talk about a common thing I hear a lot when people talk about poor people. How poor could they be. They have an iPhone and a PlayStation, how poor could they actually be? Alright, auditor of the poverty world let's talk about that.

Life is hard enough. Poor people are allowed to have a few nice things. It's ok if the homeless have drugs and alcohol sometimes. Stop requiring enhanced levels of misery as a requirement to be suffering. I've never known a single poor person living a life of luxury.

You know what they often can do? There's a sale right now, I can give this person I love a device that will give them a little release so they're not miserable in their downtime. "Why not sell they object?" Cause the $400 they will get for that PlayStation doesn't pay rent.

It's like the dam is burst, and people say well you have bandages use those to fix the leak. No but the bandages are for my cuts and will do nothing for this flood. Which, in turn, somehow makes you lazy.

Poor people don't exist in a vacuum they often do have some support. Living is expensive. Rent, food, utilities, transportation. It costs a lot. Friends and family often want to help but they can't be there every month dropping off food it's not sustainable.

Hot take: I don't think social media made people dumber. We've been dumb this whole time. It's just that you used to have to have a job that people sent their dumb letters to, to notice. This made "Engaging with fools" an occupational hazard rather than the 24/7 experience it is presently.

No matter how bleak things may seem, just remember that in the 1960s the US Coast Guard received reems of earnest letters begging them to save those poor castaways on Gilligan's Island.

It's weird. My whole life I've, simply, used Windows for computer things and a console for video games. It asked very little of me. Didn't need to care about settings. It just worked. My PlayStation is becoming so much dust. Windows just for work stuff. It took so much to lose a user like me.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

I've stated this elsewhere before, but I wish to state this here as well. Incase, in a freak accident, it should ever actually happen. My one goal in this life, my one ambition, is to do something official with The Muppets. As a brand. I don't care what it is or what scope. Officially sanctioned

Anything past the point where I tell Kermit an off colour joke, he frowns at me and walks off, and the scene cuts way to Statler and Waldorf, or however it happens, that five seconds, will be the culmination of my life works.

Don't suppose anyone on here is taking commissions that does magazine style caricatures of movie characters to make a series of image for a book I'm working on? Black and white, will pay of course. The book is taking a long ass time so like you got a long time to make it lol

I think I might have found someone that works for the moment, if that changes I'll check out those that responded here first before moving on thanks! Sorry about that y'all.

One of the society's biggest problems is that for most men the idea of strangers just coming up and complementing him on the girthiness of his hog would basically fulfill Maslow's hierarchy of needs and he will apply this philosophy to every part of his life.

I was super depressed and went on a comedian drama binge yesterday and uh. The fuck is wrong with Bobby Lee? Why is boy so spicy? Like he never seems to physicallt instigate anything but he's always THERE and then rolls around in it until it's all over him. Stinky boy.

Hey guys! Due to the trend of "what's your undertale soul color" reels I've seen recently, I decided to make something hopefully more accurate and fun than the other tests out there. I wanted it to be very Undertale themed and to have a bunch of Easter eggs. Try it at undertale.jadenthejaded.uk!

There's a lot of different ways for mania to pull together. For me? Some pickled jalapenos and cucumbers, creme pattissiere, shortbread cookies, and some asian avacado dressing all made by hand just...because I had too much of certain things by accident. Worse things I guess.

BREAKING: Governor DeSantis announced that "Alligator Alcatraz" has officially shut down. Through community pushback and litigation pressure, we the people successfully closed the chapter on this facility's dark record. But as people are moved to other facilities, accountability is still needed.
